regrtest doesn't ignore -j1 anymore

* regrtest now uses subprocesses when the -j1 command line option
  is used: each test file runs in a fresh child process. Before, the -j1 option
  was ignored.
* Tools/buildbot/test.bat script now uses -j1 by default to run
  each test file in fresh child process.
